Remember those searchable databases the PANB has developed:  
 
*''Guide to Biographies''<br>This includes two editions of ''Prominent People of the Maritime Provinces'' … (1922 and 1938), ''Dictionary of Mirimichi Biography'', and a variety of other sources at the PANB.
 
*Index to ''Hutchinson Directories''<br>:1865-1866
 
:1867-1868
 
*Index to ''Lovell Directory 1871''
 
<br> And always check ''Guide to Family Histories'', that is where I found the lead to Oshkosh, and so to Lemuel and Xenophon Cleveland. <br>

{{Note|The ''Guide to Biographies'' database has entered the names as they appear in the actual entries in the books or manuscript lists. Where someone has two names, and commonly used their middle name, be sure to try under both names. Where someone is known by a nickname like “Jack” or “Dot”, be sure to try the more formal names they were given. And are you sure you know what “Ed” or “Ned” is short for; it may be Edward, but could be Edmund, Edgar or Edwin.<ref>See Douglas, "Notes on Names", ''Here Be Dragons.'' page 32.</ref>}}<br>


Most regions, alas, do not have W. D. Hamilton’s ''Dictionary of Mirimichi Biography'', which contains 1,110 sketches of “men and women born before 1900 who played a part in public life on the Mirimichi”. Each biographical sketch contains family data and anecdotes, with source notes for each sketch. The names are in the searchable database (above), but that only gives the reference number of the books. For actual facts, you have to find the books themselves. Try to convince your library to buy a copy.<ref>Douglas, Althea.
